OHIP error code V36

What V36 means

The Ministry of Health’s official wording for V36 is: “Check input criteria required for sessional billing.”

This code appears on your Claims Error Report (downloaded through MCEDT). It means the claim was rejected at submission and was never adjudicated for payment — fix the issue below and resubmit the claim.

How to fix V36

Complete the fields required for sessional billing (sessional code and times / units as applicable), then resubmit.

These codes relate to the fee schedule code, diagnosis code, fee amount, or service limits in the Schedule of Benefits. The fix usually starts with re-reading the code's payment rules — effective dates, age/sex limits, maximums, and combinations — for the date of service.
